Mirroring is actually not what I want from Airplay. I think Apple made a mistake by calling it that. Yes you can mirror your whole screen, which is interesting

Mirroring is actually not what I want from Airplay.
I think Apple made a mistake by calling it that. Yes you can mirror your whole screen, which is interesting, but the really cool thing is when you do what you're describing (see my other comment too): you show one thing on the TV and another on the iOS device.
As for your comments on games, I think it has the potential of competing more against the Wii than Xbox/PS3. "Real" gamers will probably want a controller (though some will argue that real gamers will play on a computer :)), but for the rest (which is a majority of people), a tactile controller can be enough. Remember that it's not only tactile but has a gyroscope and accelerometer…
- joebadmo 15y agoI know individual apps can sort of do what I'm describing. What I'd like is to be able to is leave video running while doing other things on the iPad. Right now, if I'm playing a youtube video, when I leave the app to tweet or queue up another video, the one on the TV stops playing. I'm probably asking for too much, though. As for games, yes, I agree that this is a real disruptive threat to Nintendo, but not to Xbox/PS3. But how big of an industry is casual gaming compared to 'serious' gaming? I would have assumed that casual gaming was bigger, just from the demographic size, but from what I understand, one of the Call of Duty Modern Warfare games broke theatrical box office records.
